Some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases):
Ozark (TV): Easily one of the best shows currently “airing”
The Last Duel (Movie): Really enjoyed this
Harsh Reality: The Story of Miriam Rivera (Podcast): I can’t believe this reality show ever aired (nah, of course I can)
The Righteous Gemstones (TV): This show has no right to be this great
The Tragedy of Macbeth (Movie): Beautiful and haunting
Public Speaking (Movie): Finally got around to seeing this, what a legend
The Gilded Age (TV): Definitely along for the ride
The Card Counter (Movie): Super compelling
King in The Wilderness (Movie): An unflinching look at a great man
Peacemaker (TV): Those opening credits!
Street Gang: How We Got To Sesame Street (Movie): I read the book years ago, and this was a great refresher
Somebody Somewhere (TV): I love its strange energy and on-target capturing of small Midwestern town vibes
The Super Bob Einstein Movie (Movie): This guy was the best
Snowpiercer (TV): TIME TO GET BACK ON THE TRAIN, FOLKS 🚆
Mr. Saturday Night (Movie): What a career
30 Years of Garbage: The Garbage Pail Kids Story (Movie): Was fascinating to see the motley crew involved in their creation
The Puppet Master: Hunting the Ultimate Conman (TV): I can’t believe how long this guy kept (and is still keeping!) people under his spell
Jagged (Movie): What an album
Pharma Bro (Movie): Man, this guy
Secrets of Playboy (TV): As you might have guessed, it wasn’t all sunshine and roses at the mansion
American Gadfly (Movie): Amazing how far these teens got!
The Murders at Starved Rock (TV): An interesting case that’s of special interest to those of us that grew up in Illinois
Auto Focus (Movie): Greg Kinnear was amazing
Punch-Drunk Love (Movie): I’d seen this before years ago, but enjoyed it a great deal this time around
Inherent Vice (Movie): This was fine (and had some light Lebowski vibes), but wasn’t mindblowing
Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer (TV): Gruesome, but offers a fascinating look at Times Square’s sordid past
Postcards from Babylon: Evangelicals in the Shadow of Christian Nationalism (Movie): Guys, I think Christian Nationalism might be bad
Doctor Who: Eve of The Daleks (TV): The holiday special was definitely an improvement from the horrible Flux series
Gentlemen Broncos (Movie): This got fairly terrible reviews at the time, but I found it to be pretty solid
The World According to Jeff Goldblum (TV): If Disney+ keeps putting ’em out, I’ll keep watching ’em
Children of Men (Movie): Thought this was fine, but didn’t get into it as much as I expected
Dead Asleep (Movie): What a wild case
JFK Revisited: Through The Looking Glass (Movie): I was obsessed with JFK when I was younger, so this was a welcome return
House of Kyle
